Stop Wasting Money

It is not illegal to destroy or even write on US currency, unless you attempt to defraud. If you have over half of the bill intact, you can obtain a replacement at a bank.

If you light your cigar with a $100 bill, but only burn the end, it costs you nothing but some inconvenience.

If you print out US currency as a prop, make it at least 25% larger or smaller than actual size, and only print one side on any sheet -- you should then be within the legal guidelines.

Cool picture too!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions -- I did consider some of them before I submitted this shot.

There really is no more platform to the left -- that "Danger" sign is on a gate at the end of the platform. I didn't like having him right in the center, but I didn't want to crop, because I also wanted to emphasize the length and emptiness of the platform.

I couldn't really get a better angle both because of the rain (I had no umbrella), and because the guy was actually walking around quite a bit -- he was only in this pose for a few seconds. I wanted to get the shot from the back to avoid release issues.

I think people somewhat over-react to frames ... I think when most people say they "don't like the border," what they may really mean is that they want to choose their own ... almost no-one would take your cropped photo and mount it in a "floating" frame -- they'd want to choose their own mat/frame combination.

It may not be "smart" voting-wise to use them on challenge entries, but I don't think that should dissuade you from a degree of experimentation.
